Yall need to add another recall to the list. "sand in the collant system". I have had to power flush my sytem twice now do to this "factory overlook". I had 2" on sand in the bottom of my overflow and my heat went out so I'm positive the heater core was clogged. Power flushed the system and all is well for now. if I wasnt mechanically inclined I'm sure I would have never picked up on it. I've read tons of forums and a lot of Jeep owners have the same issue. Shame on you Chrysler for letting these vehicles hit the public like that.

Do you drive a 2012 JEEP WRANGLER?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year.
Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
